Martha Stewart Is Five Years Older Than Liza Minnelli

Yesterday morning, Business
Insider promised the
“full story” on that weird Martha Stewart ad for cough drops
that aired during the Golden Globes. Including this, from the cough
drop company’s owner: “‘We reached out to Martha via her agent at
CAA, after our first actress had a nervous breakdown the morning of
the shoot,’ he said.”

Liza Minnelli was originally signed to do the Pine
Brothers Softish Throat Drops ad that aired during the Golden
Globes featuring Martha Stewart — but she canceled on the day of
the shoot after dishing out an astonishing list of diva demands and
suffering an apparent “nervous breakdown.”

We’re exclusively told “Cabaret” legend Minnelli had insisted on
a rider which included two cartons of cigarettes, a humidifier
“because she can’t breathe,” six cases of Bai antioxidant drink,
black Egyptian cotton towels, a body scale, a food scale, no
Styrofoam plates (silver trays only), a $400 coffee service and
full hair and makeup.
